The Glory In Resurrection Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 23, 2019

The Glory in Resurrection Mark 16: 1-8 It had been a difficult time for those who loved and followed Jesus. The disciples and the faithful women were aware of His death upon the cross. No doubt their minds were filled with unanswered questions – what will we do now; where do we go from here; is ...read more

Forgiveness

Contributed by Bishop Johnathan Hester on Jul 24, 2018

Being Focussed Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 19, 2019

In fellowship together we are called to be distinct focussed disciples. Focussed disciples are salt and light – undiluted and not hidden. This focus may lead to persecution, or to people glorifying the Father. No matter the outcome we remain focussed.

We find them in Matthew 5 … open your Bible to that place … Matthew 5. (Read Matthew 5:3-10) Jesus uses these Beatitudes to introduce what it means to have a kingdom ...read more

Anointing Of The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Vivek Gundimi on Sep 4, 2023

"What is the anointing of the Spirit of God? What does it mean to be anointed?" Is it necessary to be anointed by the Spirit of God in the Post Modern Culture such as today?

I want to trace back briefly into history of the practise of anointing and then come to its relevance for us today. The origin of ‘anointing’ was from a practice of shepherds. Lice and other insects would often get into the wool of sheep, and when they got near the sheep's head, they could ...read more
